ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of surgery-assisted transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (SA-TIPS) in the treatment of portal hypertension comorbid with complex portal vein thrombosis, including cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV). MethodsAn analysis was performed for the data of 36 patients with portal hypertension and complex portal vein thrombosis who underwent SA-TIPS in Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from November 2023 to January 2025, including general status, technical data of the surgical process (surgical success rate, puncture times, time of operation, the number of stents used, and the length of shunt), perioperative complications, and surgical recovery. The change in portal pressure gradient (PPG) after shunt was compared, and the rate of reaching the standard for PPG reduction was calculated, as well as stent patency rate within 1 week after surgery. The paired samples t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. ResultsAmong the 36 patients, 34 (94.4%) underwent SA-TIPS successfully. The incidence rate of perioperative complications was 16.7% (6/36), including 3 cases of thoraco-abdominal hemorrhage, 2 cases of intraoperative arrhythmia, and 1 case of incision infection. There was a significant reduction in PPG after SA-TIPS (t=19.85, P<0.01), and the patients achieving a ≥50% reduction in PPG accounted for 76.5% (26/34). Imaging reexamination within 1 week showed a shunt patency rate of 100%. ConclusionSA-TIPS has a high technical success rate, a favorable safety profile, and good efficacy in the treatment of portal hypertension comorbid with complex portal vein thrombosis (including CTPV), and therefore, it holds promise for clinical application.

In recent years, the incidence of depression among adolescents has increased significantly, becoming a serious global public health problem. There is a close relationship between adolescent depression and lipid metabolism abnormalities. However, the mechanisms underlying this association have not been fully elucidated. This article provides a review of the mechanisms and interventions linking adolescent depression and lipid metabolism abnormalities, aiming to offer new ideas for interventions in adolescent depression. Using computerized searches of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, PubMed, and Web of Science, studies on the mechanisms and interventions related to adolescent depression and lipid metabolism were collected, with the search period extending up to October 10, 2025. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and extracted basic information from the included studies. A total of 12 original studies were included. The results indicate that adolescent depression is associated with certain lipid metabolites. Neurobiological factors, immune inflammation, oxidative stress, and gut microbiota imbalance play important roles in this association. In addition, lipid metabolites such as omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) have a significant ameliorating effect on adolescent depression.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the safety and prognostic factors influencing the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) combined with bladder cancer (BCa) by laparoscopic simultaneous radical cystectomy and nephroureterectomy (RCNU).
METHODS:
The clinical data of patients admitted to Peking University Third Hospital for laparoscopic RCNU surgery from January 2009 to September 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the same gender, age (±5 years), history of uroepithelial tumors, underlying diseases, T-stage, N-stage, M-stage, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, Charlson comorbidity index, and body mass index (BMI) (±5), 34 patients with RCNU were matched 1 ∶1 with patients with bladder cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RC) alone. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to calculate patient survival, and Cox proportional regression risk model was used to analyze clinical factors affecting prognosis.
RESULTS:
Of the 68 patients enrolled, the follow-up rate was 100% with a median follow-up time of 27.0 (11.7, 60.2) months. Comparison of intraoperative conditions (including operation time, estimated intraoperative bleeding, intra-operative blood transfusion, etc.) between the two groups of patients showed no significant difference (P>0.05). Comparison of preoperative creatinine and postoperative creatinine between the two groups of patients showed significant differences (P < 0.05). The perioperative Clavien grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ complication rates were 2.9% (1/34) in the RC group and 5.9% (2/34) in the RCNU group. There was no significant difference in terms of perioperative complications between the two groups. Overall survival was significantly lower in the patients receiving RCNU compared with the matched group receiving RC alone (P < 0.05). Cox regression analysis suggested that two factors, high N stage and high postoperative creatinine, were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients in the 2 groups (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The overall survival prognosis of patients undergoing RCNU surgery was worse compared with laparoscopic RC surgery alone during the same period. There was no clinically significant difference between the two groups in terms of operation time, intraoperative bleeding, and perioperative complications, and there were clinically significant differences in preoperative renal function and post-operative renal function.

Objective:To explore the application value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) perfusion imaging and magnetic resonance high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) in the evaluation of atherosclerotic ischemic stroke (IS).Methods:A total of 131 patients with atherosclerotic IS (study group) and 62 patients with non-atherosclerotic IS (control group) diagnosed and treated in Handan Central Hospital from May 2022 to May 2024 were retrospectively selected as the study objects. MSCT perfusion imaging and HR-VWI were completed before treatment. MSCT perfusion imaging indexes and HR-VWI indexes were compared between the two groups, and HR-VWI indexes and MSCT perfusion imaging indexes were compared among the study groups with different disease degrees. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of HR-VWI indexes and MSCT perfusion imaging indexes in atherosclerotic IS.Results:The stenosis degree, out wall area at maximal lumen narrowing (OWA MLN), plaque loading rate and remodeling index in the study group were higher than those in the control group: (69.22 ± 12.57)% vs. (60.81 ± 10.38)%, (7.62 ± 1.03) mm 2 vs. (6.53 ± 1.18) mm 2, (42.51 ± 8.22)% vs. (36.53 ± 7.29)%, 1.32 ± 0.41 vs. 1.01 ± 0.29; while the lumen area at maximal lumen narrowing (LA MLN) in the study group was lower than that in the control group: (0.84 ± 0.28) mm 2 vs.(1.17 ± 0.41) mm 2, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) in the study group were lower than those in the control group: 20.25 ± 2.83) ml/100 min vs. (23.66 ± 2.52) ml/100 min, (1.82 ± 0.53) ml/100g vs. (2.31 ± 0.63) ml/100 g; and the peak time (TTP) and mean transit time (MTT) in the study group were higher than those in the control group: (23.55 ± 4.86) s vs.(19.73 ± 3.73) s, (7.13 ± 1.22) s vs. (6.17 ± 1.06) s, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). In the study group, with the aggravation of disease severity, the stenosis degree, OWA MLN, plaque load rate and remodeling index were gradually increased, while LA MLN was gradually decreased, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve value of HR-VWI index combined evaluation and MSCT perfusion imaging index combined evaluation in the diagnosis of atherosclerotic IS was 0.921 and 0.828, respectively. Conclusions:HR-VWI and MSCT perfusion imaging can be used in the assessment of patient's condition of atherosclerotic IS. HR-VWI may be better in evaluating the condition of atherosclerotic IS.

Objective:ANXA2 plays a crucial role in cancer metastasis, but its mechanism is not yet fully understood. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an ANXA2 gene knockout mouse model to provide an effective tool for subsequent studies on ANXA2-related mechanisms.Methods:A gene knockout mouse model was constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The model was validated through tissue DNA extraction followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequencing, and western blot to confirm ANXA2 genotype and protein expression. The successfully constructed models were divided into a model group and a wild-type (WT) group for the creation of a mouse tail vein injection Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) metastasis model. Metastatic foci formation was monitored using in vivo imaging technology, and the survival rates of the two groups were compared. Results:An sgRNA sequence targeting the first exon of ANXA2 was designed, and 16 founder mice were obtained through microinjection. Through consanguineous hybridization, 30 homozygous offspring were ultimately acquired. After establishing the strains of the mouse model, mice were divided into the ANXA2 knockout group and the WT group, with 8 mice in each group. An LLC lung metastasis model was established in both groups. Compared with the WT group, the number of metastatic foci was significantly increased in the ANXA2 knockout group (7 vs. 1), and the fluorescence intensity was stronger in the WT group than in the knockout group ( P=0.002). Using the GEPIA2 database to analyze ANXA2 gene expression in tumor tissues and normal tissues of lung cancer patients, it was found that ANXA2 expression levels were significantly higher in lung cancer tumor tissues compared to normal tissues ( P<0.05). The database included data from 478 lung cancer patients, and patients were stratified into high-expression and low-expression groups based on ANXA2 levels. Compared to the low-expression group, patients in the high-expression group exhibited significantly shorter disease-free survival and overall survival ( P<0.05, respectively). The survival time of mice in the ANXA2 knockout group (median survival time, 43 days) was significantly longer compared to the WT group (median survival time, 26 days; P=0.017). Additionally, ANXA2 expression is significantly associated with the prognosis of lung cancer patients ( P=6.4e-14). Conclusions:ANXA2 is closely associated with cancer metastasis and holds potential as a new target for metastasis treatment. Further in-depth research will greatly facilitate the transition of ANXA2 from basic research to clinical application.
